Before FAR
Having read some of the critiques of past recent FARs, it appears to be a daunting crucible for an article to endure. Even some A Class MILHIST articles have not meet the scrutiny of the reviewers at FAC. That being said, what should I do to improve this article before nominating? Should I open this article up to another peer review? Or should I bring a blindfold and cigarette and just step up to the plate and face it without additional improvement? --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The main barrier I see to this reaching FA class is the lack of detail which is available on the unit's combat history in 1944 and 1945. You've clearly looked everywhere for material on this, so it's not your fault, but it does form a significant limitation to the article. On a smaller note, the article's lead should be expanded to two paragraphs before this goes to FAC as well as the current lead is a bit short given the length of the article.

 * Actually, these two US Army Center for Military websites provide useful details on the regiment's combat history which haven't been included in the article yet: and  The second website seems particularly useful. Nick-D (talk) 08:46, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Those appear to have been posted some time after May of this year. I shall integrate those into the article, some within the next two weeks. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 11:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Excellent. I've got borrowing rights at the Australian Defence Force Academy Library (which specialises in obscure aspects of the Pacific War), and I'll see if they've got anything on this. Nick-D (talk) 11:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, I have integrated the sources. See the diff here. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:03, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Wasn't segregated . ..
Couldn't have been segregated if it had non-Filipino officers. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 02:01, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There are two reliable sources that state it was. It was as segregated as the predominatly African American and Japanese Americans units that existed at the time. Those units enlisted personnel were minorities, with predominatly Caucasian American officers. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
